Summary
About English Bulldog
The English Bulldog is a compact, muscular companion with a broad chest, wrinkled face and short coat. Calm and affectionate, it bonds closely with families, often adores children, and needs gentle, moderate exercise plus careful lifelong management of breathing, skin and joint health.
About German Spaniel (Wachtelhund)
Medium, robust German hunting spaniel built for dense cover, with a thick, weather‑resistant coat in brown or brown-white. Very loyal, often one-person focused yet family friendly. Highly energetic, driven working gundog that needs intensive exercise and meaningful tasks; still uncommon outside Germany.
